Leading AI figures, including Mark Zuckerberg, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, Eric Schmidt and Gary Marcus, caution that large language models (LLMs) are limited tools that mimic language rather than replicate human thought. While tech CEOs tout imminent breakthroughs, researchers argue that true artificial general intelligence (AGI) will require world‑modeling, persistent memory, reasoning and planning capabilities beyond text‑based training. The piece highlights the growing skepticism within the AI community and stresses the need for a broader, multi‑disciplinary approach to building genuinely versatile intelligent systems. Leer más →

Renowned AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton has cautioned that artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming more adept at influencing human emotions than people are at resisting persuasion. He notes that large language models learn persuasive techniques simply by analyzing the vast amount of human writing they are trained on, and that current studies show AI can match or exceed humans in manipulative ability when it has access to personal data. Other leading AI experts, including Yoshua Bengio, echo these concerns. Hinton suggests that regulation, transparency standards, and broader media‑literacy efforts may be needed to mitigate the emerging emotional influence of AI systems. Leer más →
